Thrive not waking from Stand By - requires reboot

Well I am composing this message on my Thrive tablet. Purchased on Naval base 1 July. Guess since I'm one of the first to get one I will be the first to post a problem. When I leave the thrive in stand by and press the power button it fails r To come on and requires rebooting. Just a small quick but annoying.

Re: Thrive not waking from Stand By - requires reboot

I have the same problem with my 32GB tablet. This is a pretty serious and large oversight. Toshiba needs to come clean fast about the fix. After the battery swap suggested on the other site, I can make the tablet come out of sleep, but I don't have any way of logging back in...I only see a time/date in front of a backdrop.

"I fixed it by taking out the battery plugging in the tablet turning it on with no battery, then I put the battery back in and unplugged the device while it was still on it immediately noticed the battery and the sleep problem stopped happening hope this helps﻿."

Don't know if that's a 1-time permanent "fix" but that user posted his message on 7/5 and has not since posted an update stating that the problem has returned. (Btw, I don't know how he got his hands on a Thrive on or before 7/5.)

UPDATE: Many have reported the above-mentioned workaround to be ineffective as a solution to this issue, so I'm no longer comfortable asking everyone to give it a shot.

Re: Thrive not waking from Stand By - requires reboot

Having the same issue. Unfortunantely, Jim's recommended fix didn't work. Seemed to work fine when I press the power button to put it to sleep manually and wake it up, but after awhile, even that stops working. I set the tablet to go to sleep after 30 minutes and it goes to sleep much sooner than that (like less than 5 minutes). And then I can't wake it up again. Seems to have a mind of its own. Hope Toshiba has a fix for this problem soon. ﻿

Thanks for forwarding sleep problem to the tech guys. Hopefully this can be corrected with a firmware update. Btw, the Australian market had earlier access to the Thrive, so the mentioned user may have originated from there.)

Glad you let us know that the factory reset didn't work. Almost did that last night, but even a SD card backup won't restore everything to the way it used to be and I spent a lot of time on downloading apps and app placement. Really don't want to have to do that again. Hopefully Toshiba addresses this quickly.

I have a 32gb Thrive and have this problem but one thing I seemed to notice is that it does not seem to happen while connected to the power cord but only while I am running off the battery, can anyone else test this I would be interested in the results as well as if it is true may be helpfull to Toshiba.
